I hear these are out there but don't seem to be any new ones. Let me know condition and price.

Thanks,

To the best of my knowledge, the .54 mould has only been offered in aluminum.
Moose moulds if the only current manufacturer. Greg Eddington, the designer/engineer, used to sell Lee aluminum moulds including a 6 cavity mould.

The .58 Wilkinson has been offered in a variety of moulds. Greg Eddington offered it in 1 or 2 cavity aluminum moulds. John Dewald had some steel ones made in 2 or 3 cavity. Mike Owsiak also made some in brass. Moose offers it in aluminum and is the only supplier still selling them that I am aware of.

Your best option for steel may be to have someone like Brooks make you a custom mould.

I have the moose .580 Wilkinson mold. It is aluminum. It casts beautifully.

Thanks Tim,

Was hoping to find someone with and old one but may have to go to someone who can cut one for me. Softer metals won't work for my application. I think Tennessee Bullet Molds can make a new hard metal one as well.


Thanks,

Steve,

Contact the Skunk Works at Lockheed Martin. They can make one out of Titanium for you.

Alright, speaking for the 19,344 readers of this BB, WHAT IS THE APPLICATION?????? Surely, I mean Stevie, you're not making armor piercers for a Mississippi are you??

Its called a Master Caster by Magma Engineering and it kicks out either 8 or 16 lead bullets per minute. It also beats the hell out of aluminum molds.

Will these be for the Wilkinson machine gun?
